"Can you remember who you were,

before the world told you who you should be?" 

                                                     Charles Bukowski

~ Rooted in sovereignty, flowing with creative life ~

As a sensitive creative, are you feeling disconnected from your core, entangled in mental noise and emotional overwhelm yet deep within, longing for more self-expression, presence and agency?

 

Are you going through a life transition and need a safe supportive space to grieve, rest and process the old while creating, rooting and integrating the new? 

​

How would you feel if I could help you find clarity and guide you to reclaim the sovereignty that is your birthright ?

​

Imagine this journey as an intimate, self-empowering, and creative adventure towards expansion, agency, and the reconnection to the freest, most authentic expression of yourself! 

Rooted and flowing is a 1:1 integrative experiential journey that honours the pace and needs of your personal inquiry. At each step, I take care that you are the self-expressed creator and storyteller.

​

​Gentle yet transformative modalities - embodied practices, collage making and earth wisdom -  will support and nurture your personal journey. You will tune to your sensory and emotional cues to create organically and restore flow in your body, mind and spirit.

Reclaiming the handmade life

My invitation to journey is inspired by the tale The red shoes as told by Clarissa Pinkola Estés in her book Women Who run with the Wolves. 

In the tale, an orphan girl trades her humble handmade life for the promise of a more ostentatious one. Soon enough, her new pair of red shoes begins to possess her and make her dance to a music that is not her own. Depleted of her life force, the child  is forced to self-sacrifice in order to retrieve her spirit. 

 

I approach the story from the perspective of self-betrayal, self-deceit and self-abandonment as a result of socio-cultural conditioning  that often deviates us from our calling, the handmade life carved by the quality of our true nature. 

 

Reclaiming the handmade life means clearing the socio-cultural beliefs and patterns ingrained in our bodies and minds to retrieve the joy and fluidity of our authentic creative nature. 

The process of collage as a metaphor for the handmade life will support you to edit, reshape and reorganize your inner and outer worlds. You will unravel and undo organically layers of patterns and emotional responses that separate you from your most authentic expression. 

 

The process of collage as a somatic experience will help you to:

  • own your personal narrative and the emotions associated with it.

  • explore and give voice to your subconscious.

  • materialize into pictures the wisdom, guidance and medicine from your body and imaginal realm.

  • meet your sovereign self in the mirror.

​​​​​​​​​​We are likely to be a good fit if you resonate with some statements below:​

​

  • You identify as an introvert, highly sensitive or empath.

  • You have been called "the black sheep of the family", "the rebel", "the impossible one".

  • You resonate with the tale The red shoes as told by Dr Clarissa Pinkola Estés in Women Who run with the Wolves

  • You still miss rootedness and agency after trying traditional talk therapy or other alternative modalities.

  • You are committed  to your personal growth and healing.

  • You are open and curious to experience an intuitive creative approach to deep healing work.​​

"Very sincerely, I must say that the work with Sandra began to bear its fruits from the first session.

Thanks to the suggested exercises, I started to appreciate myself as I am in the here and now and to take small steps every day. And thanks to these small daily steps, I can say that my zest for life has returned, that I see a future for myself and that it is bright. It is a simple joy and a gain of serenity which is new to me, which I appreciate and honour with great gratitude.

My psychiatrist, in seeing my progress over the weeks, suggested a new treatment, whereby after a year or two, I could envision a life without medication.

I would like to highly recommend Sandra as a soul-body-spirit facilitator with exceptional professional skills and human qualities."

”I felt safe in the space, which is what I needed to be myself and set aside self-criticism. The creative process brought back feelings of childlike innocence. I felt very happy and this enabled me to deal with emotions that were blocking me in my daily life in a less painful way. The process helped me see my inner self in a way I had never experienced before."

"I enjoyed the creative and playful process. There is an effect of surprise because we work with visual material that enables us to quiet our mind. We can therefore address directly the emotions and have the feeling of moving forward, progressing faster, of feeling stronger and more stable. I immediately felt I could trust from our first meeting. The atmosphere remained peaceful even during painful, liberating moments. I felt safe and serene in the presence of Sandra who is a high quality person."
